San Diego County Gun OwnersSan Diego County Gun Owners Leave a Comment

In 2017 I wrote an article questioning the wisdom of depending on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to protect the Second Amendment (2A) and the rights of gun owners in America.

Why Tulsi Gabbard Is The Greatest Presidential Candidate For Whom I Will Never Vote

Brian BradyBrian Brady 1 Comment

I admire Tulsi Gabbard.  I won’t vote for her; her ideas about government’s relationship to the economy and individual economic choices are statist but I love her non-interventionist message.  (Inlookers might look at my first post on San Diego Rostra, and read from there).

When I first became a Second Amendment (2A) activist I remember thinking about the subject of Sanctuaries. At the time the idea of sanctuary cities, counties, and even states was gaining traction.

An old guy once told me life was too short to just own ugly Kydex holsters. From USPSA matches to concealed carry you’ll see Kydex holsters, and for good reason. Kydex holsters are popular because they work. A good holster needs to do three things. A good holster needs to securely hold the firearm. It needs to completely cover the …

Sometimes being a Second Amendment (2A) advocate in California can be discouraging. The seemingly endless string of new gun control laws, disinformation, and ever increasing infringement upon basic rights can, at times, make staying positive a challenge. Occasionally we forget that the 2A is alive and well throughout most of Free America and its only in a handful of backward …
